Good dental hygiene is about more than keeping your smile bright; it’s an essential part of your overall health. During your exam, your hygienist will give your teeth a deep clean, clearing away buildup that brushing and flossing can’t reach to keep your smile healthy and fresh.
Your dental team will also check for early signs of issues like inflammation or enamel wear, catching problems before they become painful or costly to treat.
At Tend, every cleaning is calm and completely judgment-free. Our hygienists will personalize your care, answer your questions, and make sure each visit is comfortable and empowering. Attending regular hygiene cleanings is a simple step toward lasting oral and overall wellness.

We want you to feel informed and confident every time you visit. Here, our team answers some of the most common questions they receive about professional cleanings and dental hygiene at Tend.
Most people benefit from a professional cleaning every six months. Depending on your oral health, your dentist or hygienist may recommend a more personalized schedule to keep your mouth in top shape.
Your hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar buildup, polishes your teeth, and checks your gums for early signs of inflammation or disease. Your dentist then reviews your overall oral health to make sure everything looks great.
In most cases, yes. If everything checks out during your exam, your dental hygienist will go ahead and perform your cleaning during the same visit. If something unexpected comes up, we’ll talk through the next steps with you.
Cleanings at Tend are designed to be gentle and comfortable. Our hygienists use advanced tools and techniques to minimize discomfort, and if your teeth or gums are sensitive, we’ll adjust your care to make the experience as easy as possible.
Even with great at-home habits, plaque can harden into tartar that only professional tools can remove. Regular cleanings prevent buildup, cavities, and gum disease, helping your smile stay healthy and bright.
Yes, we do! We work with most major PPO insurance plans. If you’re unsure about your coverage, we’ll verify it ahead of your appointment and let you know exactly what’s included. No surprise bills, ever.
If we identify an oral health problem during your exam or cleaning that requires treatment, we’ll develop a personalized care plan for you and answer every question you have. We’ll go over treatment options, process, and costs. Then, we'll schedule your treatment appointment for a date and time that work for you.

Hormonal changes can increase your risk of gum inflammation, so maintaining regular hygiene visits helps protect both your oral and overall health. Just let your hygienist know you’re expecting so we can tailor your care and ensure your comfort throughout your visit.
We get it, schedules are busy. That said, our studios are designed for adult care, so we recommend arranging childcare if possible to make sure you can fully relax during your visit. If you have questions about bringing a child with you, feel free to give us a call ahead of time.
